How to select handheld terminal in logistic express?
With the development of B2B, B2C and logistic express, there are more than 10thousands packages should be handled everyday. Faced to the big requirements, it is very important to solve the problem of the packages. It is necessary to build the information management system in the logistic express industry. Handheld terminal is a kind of automatic data collecting terminal, which could be used to pick and management. With the usage of handheld terminal, it could reduce the mistakes, labor, time and cost.
There are kinds handheld terminals, with different prices and characters, which make costumers confused. For example, if there is no special requirements of function, compatibility, normal kinds handheld terminals are better choice. For logistic express selection, below lists are important.
1, Stability of communication
Courier could check the status of package by handheld terminal. But if the communication is not stable, data could not be checked or uploaded, GPS could not positioning, which would affect the efficiency and satisfaction. As the packages are more and more, it requires the stable communication, which could ensure the efficiency of logistic express.
Communication stability of handheld terminal is divided into two aspects, one is communication module stable, another is the combination of antenna design and structure design should be closed fit, which could keep the best character of antenna. Besides that, handheld terminal should be tested and improved under special environment, to ensure the stability of communication.
2, Working time
With AUTOID Cruise1 as an example, it could work 10 hours continously in inner field, and work 12hours continously in outdoor field, without changing the battery.
To keep the long-time usage in logistic express, it should choose low  power consumption, high performance and large capacity battery of handheld terminal. It also should be good at power consumption, to minimize the power consumption when the handheld terminal is in the absence of the usage.
3,Anti-fallen
The characteristics of the logistics industry is big workload and labor intensity big, goods piled high, workers usually have to move cargo while using handset scanning, use frequency is high, sometimes the accessory, this kind of circumstance knock against fall is inevitable. It is very important to handheld terminal with the anti-fallen character, which could ensure the stable work and long life of handheld terminal.
To keep the anti-fallen character of handheld terminal, it should keep the components anti-fallen. With the example of AUTOID9 supplied by SEUIC, it is protected with silica gel protective layer, and all magnesium alloy bracket is used inside to protect motherboard and LCD.
4,Industrial protection grade
It is very bad of the working environment during the logistic express, if the protection grade is low, it will be damaged the handheld terminal. Dust and water may damage the electronic components, which shorten the life of handheld terminal. IP54 and IP65 grade are normal protection grade of handheld terminal,but for AUTOID9 supplied by SEUIC is certified by IP67 industrial protection grade.
5,Working temperature
Handheld logistic express terminals are widely used in outdoor, it requires that handheld terminal could be used in cold and hot temperature.  When purchasing handheld terminals, the operating temperature range of handheld terminal is very important. For example, handheld terminal supplied by SEUIC could be used in the temperature of -20°C to +50°C. By the way, handheld terminal should be tested under different environment, which could ensure the stable usage under different conditions.
6,Appearance design
Lightweight portable handheld terminals can minimize staff burden.A good handheld terminal must have a good user experience, lightweight portable is one of the important indicators.
